Brain Teasers
And Twice On Sunday
Situation
Situation puzzles (sometimes called lateral thinking puzzles) are ones where you need to ask lots of yes or no questions to figure out what happened in the situation. These are good puzzles for groups where one person knows the puzzle and answers the questions.Situation

I thought it was because one pair was holey (holy).
Ha! Nice. I really wish I had though to make that pun somewhere in the puzzle. Thanks Wolfpack!
Spelling mistake - should be week, not weak.
Ack! How did I miss that typo?
It is interesting that I submitted this using the general plural pronoun "they" or "their" to avoid insinuating that either specific gender may be OCD. I chose "Chris" as intentionally genderless. However, it came out of the acceptance process as female.

It sounds like Sheldon Cooper on The Big Bang Theory!
